The life of Hatshepsut, the first great and most controversial ancient Egyptian queen, is the theme of a historical film written by the Egyptian artist Mahmoud Yasin and directed by Mohammed Radi.
Egyptian actress Elham Shahin is expected to take the starring role in the film, according to the Qatari daily Al Rayah.
While this is the first time for Shahin to play such a role, Yasin has previously scripted the historical series Riyah Al Sharq (East Wind) starring his daughter Rania Mahmoud Yasin.
Shahin will begin shooting the new film after she wraps up the shooting of the series Al Koumi, Banat Afkari (My Thoughts) and the film Al Raghbah (Desire) - Albawaba.com
